Here’s the second group gift from New Line for teleporthub.com members.
The outfit includes the top and skirt in sizes for Lara, Isis, Venus, Freya, Hourglass, and Physique, and the boots custom fit for each of those bodies too. There is a ten color HUD in the box that lets you change the textures for the top and skirt separately. The boots are black only.
Also in the box is a custom shape for each of the bodies listed, plus brow shapers, but the shape is only if you have a Catwa head (which I don’t, I’m very happy with my GA.EG one). But for those of you who do, and are struggling to get a good face and body shape (I know, making a shape for a Bento head can take significant work), this could be a very cheap starting point!
Outfit: Outfit Sonia+Shape – Fatpack 10 Colors by New Line
This is a group gift for teleporthub.com members. Teleporthub is L$10 to join, and once you do there are literally dozens of free group gifts from member stores. While you’re picking up this dress, there is another teleporthub group gift right beside it which I’ll show you tomorrow 🙂
The outfit includes the dress in sizes for Lara, Freya, Venus, Isis, Hourglass, and Physique, the shoes, and the stockings as appliers in the dress HUD. I’m wearing Maitreya feet for highs, which is very unusual for me. The reason is the Omega applier button in the HUD for the stockings didn’t work for me, so I had to use the Maitreya applier.
The dress HUD has ten fabrics, each of which can be applied separately to the dress, the frills, and the bows.
Let’s take a look at the new Kinzart Kreetures dire wolf. Be afraid, be very afraid 🙂
This review refers to version 1.1.10.0. There are still some issues with the avatar, which the creators have acknowledged and said they will be fixing shortly, but none of them are major, and none of them take away from just how awesome this avatar actually is.
First up, the avatar is both bipedal and quadrupedal at the touch of a HUD button. Both modes have a built in stand, walk, and run. The quadruped set is particularly good, but the biped set leaves just a little bit to be desired, particularly for females. The stand is nice and menacing as you can see in the top picture, but the walk and run are just a little stilted. This is definitely one of the things the creators have promised to address shortly. As the avatar has no demo, the movement was my major concern, but as the quadruped animations are so good, I’m hopeful that the bipedal ones will be upgraded to something a little better soon.
Also included in the HUD is a sit button, and you can cycle through eight ground sits, like the one above.
The HUD has twelve inbuilt fur textures, all with materials enabled. And everything from the claws, pawpads, eyes, nose (twelve inbuilt textures), tongue, and mouth are customizable with a color picker, fullbright, and glow.
As the avatar is undoubtedly aimed at people playing lycans, the hindquarters are lower than the shoulders in quadruped mode, which is in keeping with the werewolf theme, as opposed to a real dire wolf, which was not too different that modern day wolves, in body shape at least.
Let’s talk animations. There are a ton of them, for the Bento rigged ears and forepaws, the eyes, mouth (the tongue out animations are great!), the brow, jaw, face, and even pupil dilation! There are also five actions: Dance 1, threatening, begging (cute), rolling (cuter), and playful (cutest), which trigger a number of the face and paw animations plus animate the entire avatar. Tail wag speed and position can also be selected via the HUD. There are fur on/off options, and additional fur options for the thighs, elbows, and cheeks.
There are even solo and pack howls, where the pack howl will trigger off other dire wolves in the vicinity if they are allowing it via the HUD 🙂
Although I don’t have any clothes for the avatar yet, the creators have certainly not neglected clothing designers when it comes to alpha cuts. The HUD has a comprehensive alpha section, although it only shows the front of the avatar, and the back of the torso can only be alpha-ed with the torso button. Considering that wolves don’t wear a lot of clothing, this is probably not a major concern. You can also save up to four alpha presets.
Oh, and you can select either male or female via the HUD. The female option adds boobs, which are, umm not the most believable I’ve seen, but the body does respond to the shape sliders, so I gave them a little more gravity and separation, which helped. In quadruped mode, this matters not at all, but in biped mode, they look a little strange from the side. I’ll play more with the sliders to see if I can get them just a little more natural looking.
With free updates for life, and a number of fur mods and some accessories on the marketplace already, this looks to be the best wolf avatar in SL hands down. You can get each size (there are three, small which I’m wearing, medium, and large) for L$2500, or the fatpack of three goes for L$6000.
Hello lovelies! I promise I’ll get back to some easily available free outfits shortly, but as I’m still recovering for the holidays, one more dress that’s been languishing in my unopened folder to show you today.
This dress comes in standard sizes plus fitmesh for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, and classic avatars. It has a six texture HUD, and although my photos don’t do it justice, most of the gathers and the seam you see here are in the dress, not just the textures. It looks really nice, which makes me forgive the shoulder straps not being as tight as they could be 🙂
This is a past group gift from Julia’s Scandal still available in store. Julia’s group is FREE to join, and there are a number of group gifts available.
There are three styles in the pack – white lace, black lace, and a pretty red floral pattern – in sizes for Lara, Physique, and Hourglass.
You should definitely check out Julia’s Scandal, there are some very nice items at reasonable prices!
When you’re feeling a little bit of denim come upon you (hey, no chortling over ‘little bit’), here are a couple of fun choices: the Fiona Denim Jacket from Addams, and the Miss Butterfly Shorts from Unscrupulous.
The jacket comes in 41 single colors as well as a fatpack, and is for all major mesh bodies. It features an open style allowing you to nicely display any top you choose to add. The shorts come with a lovely belt detail, and the shorts can be hidden to just use the belts over something else if desired. In keeping with some of my recent full perm posts, these shorts are also available from Gunshot as a full perm item (the Azour short) if you want more color options; however if you like this color the Unscrupulous offering is pretty darn cheap and includes a small little top and some pasties.
Except it’s not an itsy bitsy yellow polka dot bikini, but a rather full coverage one with nice high cut legs and a bandeau top!
This was a hunt item from the Shop and Hop Winter event, which I wasn’t going to show you as it’s well, a bikini, in… winter? Oh well, it’s always a tropical paradise somewhere in SL, and it is summer in my real life, so you get to see it.
It’s all one piece and is in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Physique. It comes with a HUD that lets you hide the tops and bottoms separately, which is useful if you like to go topless, or visit clothing optional beaches, and don’t want to rummage for your clothing at the end of the day 🙂
Swimsuit: Irma Bikini – Yellow Polka Dots by Just Because
Let me show you the latest group gift from Scandalize, starting off 2019 in super fashion!
This dress is one piece, but you can texture the top and skirt separately with the included 22 color HUD. There are fits for Lara, Freya, Isis, and Hourglass.
Scandalize is L$100 to join, but when you can pick up group gifts of this quality (and there is an entire wall full of previous group gifts available), I think it’s money well spent! Happy 2019 and thank you to the group at Scandalize!
I’ve been pretty busy over the holiday period with family and friends, and I haven’t been out looking for clothes as much as I’d like to. So, I was rummaging around in my unopened folder for something to show you, and I came across this little red number. This is one of those outfits that I have no idea which event or hunt I got it from, or if it was a group gift or MM board (I’m betting an MM board).
While I can wear most dark red things with my hair, this light red calls for the dye bottle 🙂
The dress and skirt are separates and come in sizes for Lara, Ebody, Physique, Hourglass, Venus, Freya, and Isis. Currently, you can get this dress in-store for L$75, which is a steal seeing it comes with a ten color HUD to texture the top and skirt separately!
Let me quickly show you this lovely little sweater dress that’s be languishing in my unopened folder for at least a year (omg)
It comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass, and the fit is great except for some little clipping issues with my hands. I wear SLink Dynamic hands as I like the look of them and prefer the HUD options over Maitreya hands (plus I have an absolute dressing table drawer full of SLink nail polish appliers). I wonder if Maitreya hands would have the same clipping issue?
